Elegant styles

This is a hair/makeup post, and it consists of Hollywood-inspired styles, not japanese. I absolutely love japanese hairstyles, but it wouldn't hurt to get some ideas from US, etc etc, right? ;) Pictures mostly from xinmsn.


Pretty french braids, finished with an elegant fish braid, which I doubt I can ever do. But I should try it, maybe with the top half of my head.

 Pretty updos. I really love updos, but it's such a pity when I look so damn unattractive (read: ugly) when my fringe in pulled away from my face. Nevertheless, I'll attempt this look with the help of dark powder to contour my flat, fat face.;)

 Effortless style that I really like, but can never do with my super straight hair. I just bought a curler about a week back, so I hope I can do this! Anyway, this look is perfect for beach-y styles.

I guess the key in this look is the deep side part, which is alluring. I've been wanting to grow out my fringe, and I hope it reaches the length (to be tucked in at the ear) by March 2012! :)

To be quite honest, I never really got the appeal of Taylor Swift. Yes she's pretty, but I have always found her eyes creepy cus her tear duct area has this sharp edge, which seem to have a cat-like effect. And her jaw line is very sharp as well. But looking at this girl-next-door style, I really have nothing left to say, except to question my taste. She looks gorgeous manz.

Two pictures of her in a row, haha. That's a pretty cute curled up fringe.

 Never, never got the appeal of this Twilight star. Never thought she was beautiful, attractive at all. But got to give her credit for this flawless makeup. Her eyes were accentuated with the perfect shade which brings out the hallows of her eyes. Love this clean look.

 Saved this picture not for the hair, but for the perfect face makeup. I'm so in love with the flawless finish look. Bright skin, lightly contoured eyes and peachy blush. Wish that I can achieve a perfect complexion in 2012.

She looks almost like a mermaid, with perfect curls and perfect skin colour. Enough said, flawless skin is key to beauty.

Dreamy world

Heyho! This few items caught my eye while I was surfing taobao, livejournals and some asian website. Super dreamy pieces, and some that I will definitely/do my best to lay my hands on (in pink text).


Hearts lace puff sleeve. Not planning to buy this, but it's pretty! Love the lace details.


I need this shirt, look at Lena in it. Super pretty and chic. Not sure if my height can pull it off, but I'm sure this outfit works damn fine with many pieces! Denim shorts for casual look, paperbag skorts/skirts for chic look and cropped pants for formal. This goes so well with mocha-coloured staples.


This is super cute (and cheap! I think 30ish RMB). Perfect for cold rainy days ;)
I'm definitely gonna lay my hands on this piece. USD3.20 if I'm not wrong. Pretty ruffles details and the perfect princess sleeve! Super easy to match and formal enough for special occasions!

 

This isn't always my style, but I'm pretty crazy over blouses at the moment. I think having a black one would be great as a wardrobe staple :) Plus I love the chiffon material so you can still see a bit of skin!


This is just cute, too billowy for my style, but love the dreamy feel! Don't think I'll get it though, since it's slightly more expensive than some of the other blouses.

Love this simple top! It's just kind of like a wrap over at the neckline which I think is super chic. That detail just makes this long sleeve a bit more special and sexy. Think it's priced reasonably as well so I'll probably get this!


Love this nautical anchor prints top. Been eyeing this kinda simple button-up tops and this totally fits my taste. Pink, cute prints, perfect cutting. Will be looking more a cheaper alternative!


Love this nude piece- in fact, I prefer this to the blouse that featured Lena even more. The small dot details make this top look extremely classy.


The shorts quite cute but isn't too casual as well. Nice, unique details at the bottom.



Love this skorts for 3 reasons. First, the mocha colour which looks super elegant. Second, it looks like a skirt (ok, duh), and last the ribbon cus you can tighten to make your waste look slim :)

 

Definitely not going to get this cus honestly, it'll look like sleepwear on me. Nevertheless, I love the tiers and lace combination.


Freaking love this shirt; it's like a piece of art. Crochet details around the shoulders, which is kinda sexy and chic, and it gives a more feminine touch to a seemingly formal piece. Really want to get this but it's super expensive, to me anyway. It's gonna cost around $30ish after shipping, no no.


Another really simple long sleeve that I like cus of the colour - wine red, super trendy this season. Very casual and easy to pair.


Been wanting to get something like this ever since I watched Oshima Yuko in Renai. Yuko looks super delicate in this sort of top (slightly puffed sleeves, half length, nude colour), and I can (probably) pull this off as well since Yuko around the same height as me. Lol.

Blouses, or anything near that will catch my eyes immediately. The prints, and especially, especially the short sleeve design appeal to me greatly. I love this to death but it's a tad expensive.


I know most people are stocking up on their sweaters, knit and whatnot. Not me, cus I've been spending my days at home studying. Really have to start doing research on my part, to get some pieces for Spring! In Singapore, spring clothings seriously last for the year. Did anyone forget that Singapore is just spring and summer for almost the whole 12 months? Seriously. Winter fashion lasts for maximum 3 months. Not gonna bank my notes there, really, let's be practical.

Oh right, plus my petite frame wouldn't really suit knit anyway, I'd end up looking like a freaking ball, lmao. Spring is about colours, but I guess my 2012 would be on cream, nudes, MOCHA shades, peaches and pink, possibly light blue, black definitely. I'm looking at mocha shades though, super classy and jappy.

2 blouses, 1 puff sleeves, long sleeves and some spring-like shirts. Paperbag skorts, leather shorts and cropped pants. Been chanting this to myself recently. Shopping trip next week, like finally. Haven't bought anything (clothes/shoes) since last 1.5months I think? Been slacking too much at home, with some notable attempts to study.

Said I'll keep the posts more visual, I ended up ranting again. So now I shall take my leave and continue planning my 2012 cosmetics.. Which I probably don't need thanks to A's. Last thing - I have to come up with a 2012 planner with my resolutions!

Birth

Excuse me for trying to bring KAT-TUN's new single name into this. Anyway, theheavenlydays was born today and I do hope I can keep this blog alive in the years to come.

Posted up here would be things on my wishlist, or products I recommend. Also, if there are any interesting/ pretty photos, or hairstyles, I will also share them here. I'm going to do my best to make this blog a visual one as much as possible, but no promises since I'm a wordy person ;)

Really looking forward to how this will turn out, so stay tuned!
